Which one of the following statements is FALSE regarding RVSM?

Correct! Wrong!

During the preflight phase of an RVSM flight the aircraft altimeters should be set to the local altimeter (QNH) setting and should display a known elevation (e.g., field elevation). The difference between the known elevation and the elevation displayed on the primary altimeters should not exceed _____.

Correct! Wrong!

When changing levels, the aircraft should not be allowed to overshoot or undershoot the cleared flight level by more than:

Correct! Wrong!

ATC wishes to determine the RVSM status of a flight will call 'CONFIRM RVSM APPROVED'. Pilot response in case that the flight is RVSM approved is:

Correct! Wrong!

An RVSM approval is valid globally on the understanding that any operating procedures specific to a given region will be stated in the Operations Manual or appropriate crew guidance.

Correct! Wrong!

ICAO Annex 6 Part I Chapter 7, Para 7.2.5.)

What should be annotated in block 3 of the FAA flight plan or block 10 of the ICAO flight plan, to show that the aircraft and operator are approved for RVSM operations?

Correct! Wrong!

An operating transponder connected to the altimetry system controlling the aircraft is required for RVSM.

Correct! Wrong!

Pilot reporting severe turbulence / weather affecting ability to maintain RVSM height keeping requirements is:

Correct! Wrong!

When RVSM capability is lost due equipment (positive radar control and NO communication failure):

Correct! Wrong!

Formation flights are to be considered non-RVSM compliant irrespective of the RVSM status of the individual aircraft within the formation and are not permitted within RVSM airspace with a 1000 ft vertical separation minimum.

Correct! Wrong!

Two independent flight management systems capable of independent aircraft positioning are required to be installed and operational for an aircraft to be RVSM approved.

Correct! Wrong!

During flight planning the flight crew should pay particular attention to conditions that may affect operation in RVSM airspace. These items are, at least: A. Verifying that the aircraft is approved for RVSM operations (AOC). B. Reported and forecast weather on the route of flight. C. Minimum equipment requirements as available in the FCOM/MEL.

Correct! Wrong!

Which of the following is NOT designated RVSM airspace?

Correct! Wrong!

What are the two primary focus areas with regards to RVSM?

Correct! Wrong!

What is the maximum authorized altitude for aircraft that are not RVSM-abled?

Correct! Wrong!

Flight cross-checks between the primary altimeters and the stand-by altimeters should be made at intervals of approximately?

Correct! Wrong!

Within RVSM airspace the vertical separation minimum between non-RVSM approved state aircraft and any other aircraft operating within RVSM airspace is _____

Correct! Wrong!

There is no exemption for state aircraft to operate as GAT within RVSM airspace with a 1000 ft vertical separation minimum without an RVSM approval. The absence of such approval does require a separation of 2000 ft to be observed.

During cruise in an RVSM airspace, you hear another aircraft declaring 'unable RVSM'. What may be the reason?

Correct! Wrong!
